Classification Rules (Clues)
Each taxonomy contains a set of terms. Terms are defined by set of configuration rules (also called clues). Clues are used to describe the language found in documents, making these documents belong to a particular topic.
Predefined Classification Rules
The standard taxonomies provided with Netwrix Data Classification include predefined classification rules for personally identifiable information (full name, home address, etc.). They are available in the following languages:
-
English
-
French
-
German
-
Spanish
Users can easily extend the out-of-the-box classification rules by adding relevant keywords and terms in other languages.
